About the festival

The Andong International Mask Dance Festival is a global festival where the memory of masks becomes one through everyone's dance. You can experience and enjoy both Korean mask dance, which is registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, and mask dances from various countries at the festival site. Furthermore, it will provide a venue for diverse performances, parades, a grand celebration, and the World Mask Dance Competition, where everyone can come together. The Andong International Mask Dance Festival 2026 aims to connect the time that masks have preserved with present life. From children to the elderly, local residents to visitors from around the world, everyone will share moments of laughter and applause in the same space, making the memories conveyed by the masks a living culture. This festival will be a 'dance of everyone' completed by the hearts that have come together, and it will be a place that showcases the power of community that shines even brighter when we are together.
